Jed,
Oh, one more thing,
Look who you are up against: a grad student. I went up against one like him
from Columbia last year in a Wikipedia match. Believe it or not, he may
actually be an innocent victim who's been spoon-fed myths and
misinformation by his teachers.
Want to see how this may
Jed,
One more thing I forgot to mention. I had a very pleasant chat with Chase
Peterson yesterday. We were just talking about some of the old days of cold
fusion for him.
Peterson sees the picture quite clearly: The "cold fusion episode" is much
bigger than cold fusion. It is about major iss

You didn't include the last paragraph from Barandes. It was juicy, and of
course nasty. I'm going to keep it for historical purposes. The extreme

to look back on.

I've learned a few interesting things over the years.

I know a lot about thermo-electric technology is an option but it has an

I'd add direct thermal/electric to your range of output options, even the
"old" dissimilar junction devices would be an option for low power work as
the weight and reliability may be more important than output. and there are
